Fermionic Einstein-coefficient relations

ID: fermionic-einstein-coefficient-relations

For an ideal emitter able to exchange one fermion with a zero-chemical potential bath, Pauli blocking gives downward rate rather than the bosonic . If and , the rate is . Detailed balance with a Fermi-Dirac distribution implies and . For massless helicity states, . Thus an additive induced-emission coefficient would be negative, expressing blocking rather than a negative total rate. The emitter must change its fermion parity; two ordinary electronic energy levels cannot exchange a single neutrino this way.
